EDITORIAL BREVITIES.

The difference between boss and bOs-
sy's calf is not always correctly sensed
by bleating journalists.
THERE are few very prickIv chest-
nut burs under the saddle cloth Of the
democratic brOnchO just now, and his
rider has no easy time keeping his seat
BALKAN was heavy man.
LUKE Z. BLACKBURN, of unsavory cpl
demic memory, is dead. Let the recol-
lection of his unrlghteOus acts perish
with him, and only that which ia COM
mendable in him live.
THAT Mexico, Mo, incident is worm
wood and gail to the fellows who sit in
editorial chairs and howl themselves
hOarse shouting over Cleveland and re-
form.
SAM SMALL having remarked that he
followed the democratic party until ii
LED tim within half a mile of hell, Sam
Jones rises to testify, saying: 81 re-
manned r democrat as long az Chris

The funny paper" is usually short
lived In this country. 1.-The dakota
Bell the much quoted, has turned up
its little toes to dews and the sunshine,
and Fred CarTuth will hereafter ring
in his Chestnuts on the New York 1ri-
buEe.
THAT anarchist verdict at the hands of
the supreme court OF Illinois has bees
received, and the opinion is not an oral
one, and IL is not Il reversal, notWith-
standing al the declarations of the
wise-acres. 1t is good, solid, written
opinion to the extent Of $1,000 words,
anpHFTniTn no 81 H.,
lower court, fixes the date of execution
on the second Friday in November next.
The senseless story is going the rounds
that Bob Lincoln CarIles u 3Uj medal as
one Of the Grant stickleTs. Can the 32l0
democratic journals that have published
that Canard prOdu a single iota of
proof to show that Bob Lincoln was
in the republican COnvE ntiOn OF 1850.
Mr.. Lincoln YVES ever a friend of Gen.
Grant. Whether be would have support
ed him for third presidential term il
an undecided and an unbeatable ques-
ton. Drop that and try something else.
If Roger Q. Mills takes his seat as
chairman OF the ways and means com-
mittee he will have to do 80 over the
PROSTATE bodies of Sam Randall and his
followers. Red Ton oil NAV be more
etfiCaCiOus than rationale oil as PC
litical lubricant, but 1t will hardly oil
the wheels that cre8k So fTiCtiOnallv be-
tween democratic free t.8de Mills of
Texas, and the democratic free trade de
nOuncer Of Pennsylvania.
INDIANA has no more cause to rejoice
over the situation democratic than has
Ohio. The democratic governments in
both states have been most fruitful of
defalCatiOns, or depleted treasures, or
bankrupt finances. The contrasts be-
tween the republican counties and the
democratic counties show generally in
favor of republican administration, and
the materials out OF which 10 create
democratic boom are totally wanting.
Iowa. though a prohibition state Os-
tensibly, Is by no means a dry one in
more senses than the malt and vinous
ones. According to State Meteorological
Heinrichs the state had rain during
twenty-four days OF August. II state
meteorological brings such blessings in
his train, why would it not be good
card for Texas to create Il bureau OF me-
teorOlOgy, geology, Mythology and any
other OlOgy by which the state might
become water sure.
The idea of hanging seven men at
once seems to be poser for the Chicago
sheriff. Counsellor Black, attorney for
the anarchists, was struck dumb with as
constituent, and could only remark as
he read the verdict, "ls it possible
Seven men to hangY" An effort will be
made to get q stay Of execution In order
to get hearing before the United States
supreme court. But there Is. not much
hope Of success. Bomb throwing will be
discounted in this country as soon as
this righteous sentence is executed.
